(Northern Region- Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle) (City Lord's Estate- Grand Hall) "It is a pleasure to meet you all," Xu Lu spoke coldly as she circulated some qi around her meridians. The temperature around her body plummeted slightly and frost began to appear on the floor beneath her feet. The nobles in front of her put away their smiles and expressions of fear flashed across their faces. None would even dare to risk the wrath of an ordinary cultivator and Xu Lu was not just a mere…-

(Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle- White Lotus City) (City Lord's Mansion- Grand Hall) Xu Lu confidently walked into the grand hall with slow purposeful steps. There was an immediate moment of silence as the guests all turned to watch the strange visitor. She wore a pure white robe with golden threads woven into the ends of the fabric. There was not a trace of dust on her clothes and her appearance was spotless. Long black hair that fell down below her shoulders was tied into a neat ponytail and the…

(Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle- White Lotus City) (City Lord's Mansion- Grand Hall) In the middle of the large mansion located in the center of the city was a magnificent golden hall where the city lord would host lavish gatherings. The floors were made of solid gold and magnificent white pillars of pure marble rose up from the ground and touched the ceiling. Statues of famous figures were scattered across the room and expensive paintings hung on the walls. It was a true display of opulence and…

"Lady Cultivator… the city lord… he…" the tavern owner hesitated as if trying to decide what words to say next. "Speak freely… this conversation will not leave this room," Xu Lu coldly spoke as she slid another bag towards the middle-aged woman. The tavern owner picked up the bag and placed it in one of her apron's pockets. A conflicted expression flashed across her face before determination surfaced in her eyes. "The city lord… is a vain, petty, jealous and vicious man," the tavern owner's…

(Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle) (White Lotus City- Unnamed Tavern) Xu Lu walked towards the tavern with quiet steps. She could hear the sounds of raucous laughter, angry cursing and loud arguing coming from inside. This was not a place where the high and mighty cultivators would usually visit. No… they would consider these mortals as dirty and beneath them. Xu Lu raised up her hand and touched the edge of the metal mask that covered her face. It was a habit that she had picked up after a few days…

Xu Lu subtly nodded her head in approval and a broad smile began to spread across Lord Peng's face. Even after such a short interaction, Xu Lu had already figured out what kind of person the city lord was. An opportunist. And… a coward. There was a saying that a human's true nature would be revealed not when they interacted with those stronger than them but with someone they considered as lesser. Xu Lu was not comfortable with slavery especially as someone from the modern world. Still she did not…

(Northern Region- Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle) (White Lotus City) Xu Lu frowned slightly as she approached the massive stone walls surrounding the city. There was only one entrance that led inside the fortress, and it was heavily guarded by multiple soldiers. The soldiers wore simple leather armour and were equipped with steel swords or long wooden bows. The road leading to the iron gate was little more than a dirt track however there was enough space for two wagons to pass side by side. The…

(Northern Region- Outskirts Of The Gobrean Jungle) (Golden Boat- Private Cabin Two) Xu Lu gently exhaled, and a faint white mist came out of her mouth. The temperature inside her room had gotten colder over the last few days as she practised her cultivation. She raised up her right hand and gently traced the edges of the silver mask that was firmly placed over her face. Its cold metal surface was a constant reminder of the horrors that lay beneath. No… I can't think like that. Stop it… stop…

Xu Lu got up from the ground and slowly walked towards Cao Ji with quiet steps. The music cultivator grinned cheekily as the saintess approached her and plucked another string on her zither. A harsh but melancholic sound echoed through the air as she watched the saintess come closer and closer. "Wow… I never expected that… arghh!" Cao Ji's voice cut off as Xu Lu's hand shot forward and wrapped itself around her throat. It was a move that was completely unexpected. Xu Lu did not use any techniques…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Two Hours Later…) "Please allow me," Lin Kun smiled gently as he waved his hand in the air. A large golden boat appeared from his storage ring and landed on the ground with a heavy thump. The boat was around the size of a two story building and a white mist slowly wrapped around its bottom half. Lin Kun snapped his fingers and a wooden bridge slid down the side of the boat which led directly to the upper deck. Xu Lu nodded her head coldly and then walked upwards…
